BASF ULTRAMID B3ZG3 HOT Sale PA6 Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured by ISO 1183, the density is 1.22 g/cc (0.0441 lb/in³), related to its glass fiber content.
• Water Absorption: According to ISO 62, the water absorption is 7.5 %, which may affect performance in moist conditions.
• Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: At 23°C/50% R.H. and following ISO 62, the moisture absorption at equilibrium is 2.4 %, important for long – term stability.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: The linear mold shrinkage is 0.0050 cm/cm (ASTM Data; MD), a key factor in mold design.
• Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133, at 5.00 kg load and 275 °C, the melt flow is 30 g/10 min, indicating flowability during processing.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: Polyamide 6 (PA6)
2. Reinforcement: 15% short glass fiber and possibly some other additives (Z might denote special additives)
3. Modification Features:
   
   • Balanced mechanical properties with a moderate increase in strength and stiffness.
   • Special additives may enhance specific properties like flame retardancy or electrical properties.
   • Good processability and surface finish in injection molding.
   • Moderate heat resistance.

Applications:

This type of material is a workhorse in industries where strength, stiffness, and heat resistance are critical. Its typical applications include:

• Automotive: Under-the-hood components, engine covers, intake manifolds, radiator parts, and structural brackets.
• Industrial: Power tool housings, gear wheels, bearing cages, and components for machinery.
• Electrical/Electronics: Housings for electrical switches, connectors, and other parts requiring high dimensional stability and heat resistance.
• Appliances: Internal and external parts of household appliances that are subject to mechanical stress and elevated temperatures.
